Sexual Assault

After the Sexual Assault

Talk to someone – a friend, counselor or doctor.

Call a sexual assault centre or a crisis line.

If the sexual assault happened recently, go to a doctor as soon as possible – even if you initially have no intention of reporting the assault to police, you may later change your mind, and the evidence that a doctor can collect can be important.

Try to believe that you will get through this. It may take a long time and be very painful, but, with courage and assistance, things will get better.
